My husband doesn’t love me anymore, but he doesn’t want a divorce
DEAR ABBY: My husband left me and moved another woman in with him in our second home. We had been married for 37 years. He said we had drifted apart and that he did not love me anymore.
For almost two years, I have been working on my issues, but I held out hope that we could work on a reconciliation. We are friendly, but he isn’t interested in reconciling. He also says he does not want a divorce and prefers to continue being separated. As I have grown used to being alone, I have started thinking more about divorcing him, even though it would have a financial impact on me. I did talk with a counselor in the past, but I feel stuck where I am. Should I stay separated or divorce?
